Within the context of "Thirteenth Step," an album by A Perfect Circle all about addiction and recovery, "The Outsider" and its explicit outside-looking-in perspective compels a powerful discussion on depression/ suicidal ideation. The name of the album refers to an unofficial next step in the recovery process, getting involved with other people in recovery for to do the sex and / or more of the addictions they're in recovery for.

At face value, the song explores the perspective of a counseling friend angrily berating his suicidal friend. They are seemingly at their wits end with the conversation, telling them directly to go somewhere far away from here if they choose to pull the trigger. The name "Outsider" can be given to either party; the spoken perspective is the one on the outside compared to their self-destructive friend, while they make said friend an Outsider by exiling them in the end.

Having been on both sides of a similar conversation, I appreciate the angst in the lyrics. Maynard James Keenan, writer and vocalist, once explained that "they think that its more like a sprained ankle; they can just kind of walk it off." Being in that hole, it feels like nobody will ever understand just how much pain you're in. Being the one shouting down into that hole, even when you've seen rock bottom for yourself, losing someone you care about to their addictions can be even more difficult to go through. Its not your job to let them drag you down with them, but cutting them off can feel like putting bullets into the gun for them. Ultimately, community is the best medicine for addiction, but if you're destroying the community by destroying yourself, exile will be the one lesson you can't ignore.

I've been cut off by good people, I've had to cut off good people. We're all outsiders to someone, and our story has to start somewhere. After all, "All great literature is one of two stories; a man goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town."
